The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

One more, and I'll sleep late after this. A dead girl in a glass casket. This one entirely done in 3D, with some color tweaking on the woman in Xara for some skin and lip color with transparent pink layer on top, and black for the hair. Everything else - Nendo 1.1, Poser 5 and Raydream Studio 5 (all 3 old software, but work fine for my needs.)

Edit: (I'll repeat a response I made on my G+ community regarding the double sets of eyes on the girl in the glass casket): Its why I did it in 3D, I wanted proper refraction through facets/panes of glass. I didn't plan on it to split the eyes, like that, but that's just it, letting the 3D do the refraction I don't make any judgement calls - it is what it is...

One more work-in-progress gothic horror symbol, some aristocrats desk. You'll notice I did something I like to do sometimes in my maps and symbols - placing my own hand-drawn maps as part of a photo-realistic map. Its a fun juxtaposition! I still plan to include a wine decanter, full wineglass and maybe a flintlock pistol in that open drawer.

Finished the Aristocratic master's desk - added a wine decanter, stopper, wine glass (both containing some wine), and a flint lock pistol is peeking from the drawer. Of course the advantage of creating all the extra detail objects is they work stand-alone as well, so multi-purposed objects!

Working on the vivisectionist operating theater - operating table, table of untensils (with just a start of the medical tools, the table will be filled when done). I plan to create a mop and bloody bucket, more blood on the floor, jars of medication, jars of formaldehyde and 'parts' in them, containers with body arms - hands, limbs, internal organs and more. Also might do some medical oddity equipment.

These are great Gameprinter. The only thing I'm not sold on is the candelabra. Actually it is great, but I would also like you to create a black iron spiky wax-dripping gothic candle-stick with a variety of candle colours and no background light effect (or at least a swap-outable background light affect). I don't think anyone on any of the forums (inc dunjinni) has ever made a good gothic candlestick. I made some candles from some of Bogie's bowls here (http://www.cartographersguild.com/ma...tml#post220048) for a commission that I sometimes use, but I've never seen a good gothic horror candle (and your one above is a bit small and chrome/shiny).
